Embedded Systems Conference, SAN JOSE, Calif. – April 26, 2010 - A new solution from the
3M Electronic Solutions Division provides reliable retention of CompactFlash Type I (CF I) and
Type II (CF II) removable memory cards mated with 3M CF II card headers, helping to prevent the
card from backing out, which can result in data loss, read failures or system malfunctions.

The 3M Retainer Clip for CF II attaches to 3M CF II card headers that accept 3M CF II
ejector hardware. Using active mechanical retention to secure the card to the header, the clip adds a
second layer of protection beyond passive friction that normally holds memory cards in place. The
clip is designed to prevent the memory card from falling out in high-vibration environments. The
simple metal latch can be easily incorporated into existing CF II systems that use 3M card headers.

WinSystems, Inc., a manufacturer of embedded computer systems, has incorporated the 3M
Retainer Clip for CF II into its CompactFlash headers installed on both new and existing single
board computers (SBCs). The boards are designed for medical, transportation, industrial,
communications, military/aerospace, and security and surveillance applications.
